Costed me $200 CAD, the worst mobile phone, it has now been malfunctioning a lot, and giving me sleepless nights and many other problems[frustration], I am planning to return the mobile phone and get some other mobile.

@Mods please close the thread, its the worst phone I ever had, planning to replace it soon.

By the way a Good News for all of you I have bought a Blackberry Playbook and I am really Very Happy with it[:D].
